Sand Paper Made with Powdered Glass.
Sand paper is at present made with pow
dered glass instead of sand. Tho American
Artizan tells how it is done: The glass is
readily pulverized by heating it red hot and
throwing it into water, and finishing the
powdering in an iron mortar BY the use of
sleeves of different sizes of mesh, the powder
can be separated into various grades, from
the finest dust to very coarse; and these
should be kept separate. A strong paper is
tackled down and covered with O strong size
of glue, and the surface covered with pow
dered glass Of tho desired 1neness. When
the glue is dry. the surplus glass is shaken or
brushed of. Muslin is better than paper and
lasts much longer1n use. m

ADMIRAL LUcE's ORDERS.
Portland Fish Merchants Think that
He Is Judged Wrongly.
A Belief that His Actions In Canadian
Waters are Misunderstood.

"Have you seen the criticisms on the con
duct of Admiral Luce in giving instructions
to the fishermen?" reporter of the PRESS
asked Mr.. o. b. Whitten, of the firm of Lew
is, Chase & Whitten, yesterday
Yes" replied Mr. Whitten, land the fish
merchants feel in some way Admiral Luce's
conduct has been misrepresented by the Hal
ifax papers. When the North Atlantic squad
ron was in the harbor the fish merchants of
Portland held consultation with Admiral
Luce. All were in considerable doubt as to
the attitude of Canada this year. No seiz-
ures had been made. The Canadians had
not showed their hand. Some of our captains
would report that they had been allowed
courtesies in Canadian harbors, while others.
seeking similar fayors, had been warned
away by the authorities. We were inclined
to believe that our treatment this year was
to be less severe; that our captains in run
ming into port for nights shelter would
not be compelled to go a dozen or twenty
miles and lose days time to report at a
custom house. We did not know just what
Interpretation the Canadians would put
upon the word repairs in the treaty, or
whether the masters of Dominion cruisers
were authorized to enter and clear fishing
vessels in port as customs officers are au-
thorized to do. Admiral Luce very readily
and very kindly volunteered to ascertain
these points for us. We made out a list of
questions, the same list that has been pub.
lshed, and Admiral Luce took them with
him. He saw Captain Scott and obtained
answers, which, with few exceptions, cover
the points ON which we were in doubt. The
information was such as we ourselves, and
our captains were much in need Of We
know now Just what the Canadians intend
TO do,p tf
"But how about Admiral Luce's warning
to the fishermen that If they did not follow
out the hints given by Captain Scott they
need not expect help from our government"
asked the reporter.
81 think" replied Mr.. Whitten, that
there must be some mistake about that
Very likely the Halifax papers made mis-
take ON that point or Intentionally misrepre-
sented it, have little doubt that Admiral
Luce distributed the printed forms of the
questions and answers to the fishermen
merely as information. he gave it as so
much information regarding what they
might expect from the Canadians That he
ordered our men to obey these regulations of
Captain Scott's ON pain of forfeiting the sup
port of our government, 1 think hardly
probable. 1t seems much more likely that
the man who sent the despatch blundered,
than that Admiral Luce did"
Mr.. Whitten is one of the directors of the
American Fishery Union, and has done
great deal of work at Washington and in the
West in the way of bringing the condition of
the fisheries to favorable public attention.
He was one of the company who met Ad-
miral Luce, and his opinion is entitled to
great weight.

that Monster IurtIe.

The PRESS was mistaken In the size of the
turtle captured by Capt. Griffin, Wednesday
afternoon, off Trundy's reef, The weight
Should have been given as 1880 pounds, in
stead of 73o pounds. A bowline was passed
about the immense creature and 1t was towed
into port at a lively rate. The rope, how
ever, cut the turtle badly. The turtle was
exhibited on Commercial wharf yesterday to
crowd OF the curious. and the owners felt
pleased to think they refused an offer of $50
for him. The shell of the turtle is eight and
half feet long, and the flippers spread from
seven to eight feet.
This species of turtle is the largest known.
1t attains length of eight feet and a toms
weight. 1t is known as the trunk turtle, and
Is found on both.sides of the Atlantic, coming
as far north as Massachusetts, Bay. Its flesh
is of no value, but its shell is used for chill
dren's bath tubs, small boats. and drinking
troughs for animals 1t has leathery skin,
instead of horny plates, over the shell,
smooth in the adult but tuberculated in the
youth, and with seven longitudinal ridges.
The jaws are very strong and the neck short
and thick. The color is dark brown above,
with lighter spots along the ridges.

Oeering Schools.

A meeting has been called for the town of
Deering, to see what action, if any, the town
will take towards finishing and furnishing
both stories of the new school house at
Woodfords. 1t was thought at first that the
lower room In the new house and the upper
room in the centre house would be sufficient
to relieve for the present, the crowded schools
in this part of the town. But we find, after
filling the lower room in the new house, we
shall still have at the Ocean street primary
school more than fifty scholars remaining,
while the upper rooms at Woodfords, which
we supposed could be relieved by sending a
part of the school to the Centre house, Is
still unproyided for; for the reason that with
new advantages offered in the High School,
nearly 200 intend to enter that school at its
beginning in September, while the house
seats but one hundred and sixty. With this
fact in view, the upper room in the Centre
house calculated for relief for the grammar
schools, must be occupied by part of the
High School, thus necesstating the immedi-
ate completion of the new house at Wood
fords. Then the whole number of scholars
now in the lower room at Ocean street, can
be divided as they should be, and sent as
two separate schools (primary and interme-
date) to the two rooms in the new house.
